Day 2

We are into Day 2 and things seem to be better than yesterday, for me anyway. Rich declared yesterday that he wasn't even hungry. Whatever! I on the other hand was starving. We had some work that needed to be done around the house last night and at one point Rich looked at me and said, "Go get something to eat, would you!" I have no idea what he meant. I also cannot explain why he watched TV downstairs and I watched TV upstairs and then I went to bed without so much as a "Goodnight". I am not proud of it, just being honest.
So onto this day. I feel less like I want to gnaw off my own arm. I can do this, I think. I do miss my friend chocolate. My other predicament is that I brought a not-so-ripe pear for my 1 snack for the day and as I mentioned yesterday, I am feeling a lot of pressure about the 2 p.m. "magic hour". I think if I wait until closer to 2 p.m. the pear will be more ripe, but what if I am hungry for my snack before then? Do I risk eating a hard, unflavorful, gritty pear?
We also neglected to weigh ourselves yesterday when we started this diet. I am fairly certain I lost at least 5 pounds yesterday if my stomach growling is any indication, but how will I ever know? I am determined to stick with it. I can do anything for 17 days, right?
